At about 7 this morning I was outside shoveling roughly 5 inches of snow. This was probably the seventh time this winter that significant snowfall called me out, interrupting coffee or wine or whatever I could have been drinking while watching another movie. As neighbors and friends were bitching and moaning about more of the…
reblogged from last year – because over 2,000 followers didn’t know me then. and if you did read it last year, it’s a little different, in a bad way. Click “Like” if you want, but I prefer you don’t leave a comment. _________________________________ There’s only one day of the whole year that I truly hate,…
This is a combination of three old blog posts combined. Also, this was written back when I never capitalized anything. I tried fixing it up, but I’m sure I missed a few things. _________________________________________ i love when there’s a news report about the findings of a new study. My all-time favorite, from a half-dozen years…
reblogged from ’09 – because you’ve never seen it Click “Like” if you want, but I prefer you don’t leave a comment. _________________________________ There’s only one day of the whole year that I truly hate, and it’s not one that I should hate.

However, as blasphemous as it seems, there came a time when I was ready to go back to school. There’s something about new shoes, jeans, long…
No, it’s not another NASCAR event, although fans of racing would never complain about adding another race to their schedule. It’s my event – my 400th blog post, and I couldn’t decide how I should recognize it. First, I’ll ask a question that’s pressing none of you, why “Brainsnorts”? When I was in about 4th…
re-posted – because you’ve never read it. Remember when you “made the team”? Maybe you’re old enough to remember when you went to try-outs, struggled through practice, had a number pinned on your shirt as you caught grounders and fly balls and waited your turn at bat. You stood in front of coaches or judges…
another in a series of re-posted blogs, because you haven’t seen them. this one is from about 3 1/2 years ago… As I drive to work each morning from 6:30 to 8, I pass various residential settings. Along Atlantic County Road 575 there is a pair of trailer parks with half a dozen kids standing…
